These shows include: "think MTV," which talks about current political issues such as gay marriage, the U.S. Allmusic.com best tracks are "Hold On", "Someone to Die For" and "Spidey Suite.". After so many shots to the network about the content of programmes, they started showing a plethora of political and economic shows. On the Japanese version of the soundtrack, "Web of Night" by T.M.Revolution appears and was a popular single in Japan.

The song Stinkfist by Tool was renamed "Track #1" since the title was considered "too offensive for public consumption" . On the Australian version of the soundtrack, "I Am" by Killing Heidi appears as Track 17 and is a single. Also, the song "Four Kicks" by Kings of Leon has the words "guns" and "switchblade" censored in the chorus. The track listing for the US version of the soundtrack is:. Edits include "45" by Shinedown (it is renamed "Starring Down" and a good portion of the chorus is edited to eliminate gun references), "We Are All On Drugs" by Weezer (It is renamed "We Are All In Love" and lyrics are changed from "On Drugs" to "In Love", and "Hash Pipe" by Weezer (the word "Hash" is obscured, and the vocal has been edited to sound like "Half"). "I Am" debuted at #16 on the charts on July 19, 2004. MTV has also heavily edited a number of music videos, frequently to remove references to drugs or weapons. "I Am" by Killing Heidi has been added to the Australian version of the soundtrack and has been released as a single in the country.

The creators of Jackass often felt that MTV's producers did not let the show run its free course due to the excessive restraints under which they put the Jackass team. "Ordinary" by Train has also reached the top 20 of the US adult top 40 singles charts. This was most prevalent in the eventual decline of the hit show Jackass. "Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional reached the top of a world composite soundtrack chart in June 2004 and the top 20 of a composite world and US modern rock chart. MTV has also come under criticism for being far too politically correct and sensitive when it came to censorship. The soundtrack for Spider-Man 2 has reached the top 10 of the US album charts and has also reached the top 40 of the Australian album charts. Afterwards the NFL indicated that MTV would not produce any further Super Bowl halftime shows, or any public event. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Sound and the Academy Award for Sound Editing.

This infamous halftime show featured the exposure of one of Janet Jackson's breasts, which was shown on live television. In the 77th Academy Awards, the movie won the Academy Award for Visual Effects. The channel also faced criticism in the wake of the Super Bowl XXXVIII half time show — which it had produced. The New Yorker rated it as average while Salon.com and Village Voice rated it as poor. 1 Because of the criticism the channel received over this, both MTV and VH1 decided to show the whole 10-hour Live 8 concert again the following weekend, this time without any commercial breaks or VJ interruptions. The movie was listed in AFI's Top Ten Films of 2004. MTV VJ's came onscreen to talk during the first guitar solo in "Comfortably Numb," then cut back for a few seconds before playing a commercial. The following publications have given the film good reviews: Film Threat, LA Weekly, Los Angeles Times, TV Guide, Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, The Philadelphia Inquirer, ReelViews, Chicago Reader, New York Magazine, Charlotte Observer.

The epitome of this was the widely reported decision to cut to commercial during Pink Floyd's performance in London, which was bassist Roger Waters' first performance with the rest of the band since 1981. The film received excellent critical reviews from the following newspapers: Baltimore Sun, Chicago Sun-Times, Dallas Observer, Entertainment Weekly, Miami Herald, Newsweek, The Onion, Premiere, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Variety, Portland Oregonian, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, Slate, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Austin Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, The Globe and Mail The New York Daily News, The New York Post, Rolling Stone Magazine. The broadcast of music was limited, as the network cut to its on-air personalities, celebrity interviews, and commercials in the middle of live acts. He went on to call it the 'greatest super-hero movie since Superman'[3]. MTV and VH1 drew heavy criticism for their coverage of Live 8, the multinational concert of musical artists which raised awareness for African debt relief. Roger Ebert who panned the first film praised the second movie giving the movie four stars. The show also airs homosexual daters, which can be seen as controversial due to its open sexual nature that is open to viewers of various ages. [2].

There are also critics of MTV and their reality shows such as NEXT, the game dating show that demoralizes individuals by making the daters complete various tasks and games only to be "Nexted" when they were not pleasing enough because of their looks. [1] Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 93%, based on 195 reviews. It was also said by someone that 'MTV was porn for children!' (later in the evening and during the night, MTV tend to show slightly more adult-themed programming, most of the adult-themed programming was pornographic movies and shows). Metacritic gave the film a collective rating of 80 out of 100 based on an average of 41 reviews. There have also been some critics who have said that MTV promotes bad behavior (mainly premarital sex, war propaganda, and even recreational drug use) to the youth of America by embracing the behaviors of certain celebrities who are not good role models. The general critical reaction to the film was enthusiastic, with many critics saying the film had a dramatic power and emotional content that many summer blockbusters lack. Although it could be argued that MTV is simply giving airtime to the most popular acts in a given country, the counter-argument could also be made that these acts get popular simply because of the exposure that MTV gives them. Though this is not as much as its predecessor, it should still be considered excellent, considering it is a sequel to a very highly regarded movie, and those usually do not do that well in the box-office (such as Jaws 2).

Critics also claim that bands sell well because they get a lot of exposure on MTV, rather than MTV picking the best bands to promote; and that MTV has too much influence in the music industry. Worldwide, Spider-Man 2 made $783,964,497, which made it the 3rd highest grossing movie of 2004 worldwide (behind Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Shrek 2), as well as the 16th highest grossing movie worldwide of all time. Ironically, the channel has also been criticized for lacking programming. Altogether, Spider-man 2 made $373,585,825 in North America, making it the 2nd highest grossing movie of 2004 (beaten by $68m by Shrek 2) and the 9th highest grossing movie in the U.S of all time. MTV UK has also been attacked for over-use of on-screen graphics, such as logos, programme promotion and countdown timers, and its electronica-themed genre channel MTV Dance is often derided for playing a lack of dance music during the day, preferring a mix of pop-dance, pop, and R&B. It generated $88 million at the box office in its first weekend of sale, and on its first day, it garnered a whopping estimate of $40 million, a record for a movie on opening (it was beat a year later by Revenge of the Sith, which grossed about $10 million more). MTV channel does occasionally play music videos (albeit rarely) instead of exclusively relegating them to their genre channels. In its first six days, Spider-Man 2 generated a record $180 million at the North American box-office, which is a record as of 2005.

The primary U.S. Harry now has the option of assuming incredible powers to take revenge on Spider-Man. The same criticism has also been made of MTV in the USA, with its dearth of music videos, and its stronger focus on reality shows such as Road Rules, The Real World, Laguna Beach, and others as well. His mental state is important, however, since he has discovered his father's villainous secrets. Videos are also often played between other shows and at night. The true state of Harry's sanity is at the end of the film uncertain. Many argue, however, that as MTV runs nine music channels in the UK, it has delegated music videos to its genre channels in a bid to differentiate itself from the competition of the fourteen other music video-oriented channels. However, it is also possible the ghost was not a delusion.

MTV UK has recently been under fire as it no longer airs any daytime music videos, outside of parts of a few shows like Total Request Live and Making the Video, and focuses primarily on MTV produced reality shows such as The Osbournes and Punk'd. Harry's past friendship with Peter and hostility to Spider-Man, as well as growing bitterness with Peter, haunt him, to the point where he imagines a visit from his father's ghost revealing the Green Goblin's hide out. As early as 1985, some musicians were criticizing MTV for these reasons, perhaps most famously Dead Kennedys with "MTV − Get off the Air". In the end, Harry discovers Spider-Man's secret identity, and for the sake of the city and for his long-time friendship with Peter, he spares Peter's life. Because of its visibility as a promotional tool for the recording industry, MTV has been criticized as overly commercial and accused of denigrating the importance of music in the music industry (replacing it with a purely visual aesthetic); this is an ongoing problem for punk and emo bands. On the other hand, Harry seems especially grateful for a compliment that he has outdone his father's accomplishments, and also blames Peter for having been more respectable than Harry himself to Harry's father. This is in part because many young African-Americans prefer to watch BET rather than MTV. On the one hand, Harry desires revenge on Spider-Man, who supposedly killed Harry's father.

Subsequently, MTV delved heavily into black musical acts, developing several hip-hop music-themed programs such as Yo! MTV Raps, and got rid of MTV X to make room for MTV Jams. Harry's relationship with the memory of his father is also complex. Shortly thereafter, the network began heavily featuring videos from Michael Jackson's album Thriller, in particular "Billie Jean" and "Thriller", and Prince's album 1999, in particular the videos for the title track and "Little Red Corvette". Upon consuming alcohol, a hostility to Peter surfaces, as Harry begins to blame Peter for tolerating Spider-Man, and for ruining Harry's onetime romance with M.J. MTV executives countered by claiming that there were few—if any—promotional videos available from black and other minority acts, although artists such as Diana Ross and The Jacksons had been making music videos before MTV existed. Two years after his father's death, Harry has become an increasingly bitter personality, as demonstrated by his failure to laugh at jokes. In its early years, MTV was criticized as racist, since the acts it featured were nearly exclusively white. Harry's character is also further developed in Spider-Man 2.

MTV Networks and Viacom have launched numerous native-language MTV-branded music channels to countries worldwide. His final act of self-sacrifice redeems him, and, echoing Aunt May's speech on heroism earlier in the movie, he dies with honor. MTV recently broadcast a new Indian Pop Culture channel called MTV Desi and University-oriented channel mtvU. It is only at the end, when Peter makes him realize the true cost of his dreams, that he turns away from the tentacles' influence and reclaims his former identity. Viacom, parent company of the MTV Networks, is also behind VH1, which is aimed at celebrity and popular culture programming; and CMT, which targets the country music market. The AI in the tentacles then offer him an escape from his failure and agony, and a chance to rebuild his experiment, since it is all he has left; and he willingly listens to them and lets them guide him. The advent of digital satellite and cable has also brought greater diversity including channels such as MTV2, which features the slogan "Where The Music's At." In the U.S., MTV2 initially focused on playing music videos and other music-related programming exclusively; in Europe, MTV2 plays specific genres of music (mainly alternative and rock). His descent into villainy is often interpreted as possession by the mechanical tentacles, but it is far deeper than that: when we see him on the waterfront after the accident, he is a broken man, having lost his wife and his fusion dreams, and he is contemplating suicide ("These monstrous things [the tentacles] should be at the bottom of the river, along with me," he says).

In November 2004, MTV announced it would begin airing in February 2005 MTV Base in Africa, [2] thereby reaching the world's last major populated area previously not served by MTV. This makes it all the more tragic and horrifying when we see what he becomes later on: a half-mechanical lunatic who is willing to risk destroying the city to realize his ambitions. In 2004, MTV's parent company Viacom bought Germany's largest provider for music television Viva Media AG, thereby creating the largest company for music on the European mainland. (He tells Peter: "Intelligence is a gift, and you use it for the good of mankind."). In the fall of 2004, Ozzy Osbourne's reality show Battle for Ozzfest aired. The early scenes in the movie with his wife and Peter establish him as a gentle, peace-loving man who desires to help mankind. The success of Newlyweds was followed in June 2004 by The Ashlee Simpson Show, which documented the beginnings of the music career of Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson's younger sister. Otto Octavius is a deeply conflicted and ambiguous villain.

It has run for three seasons. Dr. In 2003, Newlyweds, another popular reality TV show that follows the lives of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, a music celebrity couple, began. As Peter joyfully swings to the rescue, Mary Jane remains, still somewhat apprehensive of the bizarre and potentially dangerous relationship they have committed themselves to. television. She - almost forcefully - persuades Peter to finally be her boyfriend while accepting the need of his vows by letting him respond to a sudden call for help. The show went on to become one of the network's biggest ever success stories and kick-started a musical career for Kelly Osbourne, while Sharon Osbourne went on to host a talk show on U.S. She gatecrashes Peter's apartment, telling him that she has decided to live with him - despite the risks - because a full dangerous life is better than a half, carefree life.

In 2002, MTV aired the first episode of another reality show, The Osbournes, based on the everyday life of former, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon, and two of their children, Jack and Kelly. In the end, MJ runs away from her marriage with John Jameson. The show ran for three seasons and spawned numerous imitations, including the currently running Fear Factor on NBC. But Peter tells her they can never be together, as he will always have deadly enemies, and MJ should spare herself the grief of coming too close to him. In 2000, MTV's Fear became the first 'scary' reality show where contestants filmed themselves. MJ finds out that Peter is Spider-Man, and is stunned and full of joy at the same time. By the second half of the 1990s, MTV programming consisted primarily of non-music programming. He ends his doomsday experiment by drowning it, sacrificing his life and dying a hero("I will not die a monster!").

MTV started off showing music videos nearly full-time, but as time passed they introduced a variety of other shows, including animated cartoons such as Beavis and Butt-head and Daria; "reality" shows such as The Real World and Road Rules; prank/comedic shows such as The Tom Green Show, Jackass, and Punk'd; and soap operas such as Undressed. They fight a second time, and in the end, Doc Ock regains his sanity. Today, MTV Networks also owns Nickelodeon, a cable channel airing children's and family programming. Peter finds Doc Ock in an abandoned warehouse, where he holds MJ hostage and has just launched his doomsday experiment, which is clearly going rogue, just as the one at the beginning of the film (extending flares, sucking up and incinerating anything metal). VH1 featured more popular music than MTV. Peter implores him to tell him where Doc Ock went, or MJ will be killed. After MTV's programming shifted towards heavy metal and rap music, MTV Networks launched a second network, Video Hits 1 (VH-1), in 1985. Harry unmasks him and is shellshocked that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.

In 1992, the network would add a movie award show with similar success. With an utmost effort, Peter stops the train before it falls from an unfinished bridge, is vanquished easily and brought before Harry. Seen as a fit of self-indulgence by a fledgling network at the time, the "VMAs" developed into a music-industry showcase marketed as a hip antidote to the Grammy awards. He has a great fight with Doc Ock, and the crazy scientist forces Peter to rescue a rogue train. In 1984 the network produced its first MTV Video Music Awards show. This shock brings back Peter's powers. Madonna rose to fame on MTV in the 1980s, and to this day continues to use the network to promote her music. Then he abducts her.

Michael Jackson launched the second wave of his career as an MTV staple. Doc Ock threatens Peter and tells him to tell Spider-Man to fight him, unless he wants MJ killed. 1980s bands immediately identifiable with MTV include Eurythmics, RATT, Culture Club, Def Leppard, Duran Duran and Bon Jovi. Because he knows that Peter and Spider-Man are close (although he does not know that they are the same person), he attacks Peter. A large number of rock stars of the 1980s and 1990s were made into household names by MTV. But before things can go on, they are attacked by Doc Ock. Several noted film directors got their start creating music videos, including Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and David Fincher. She arranges a meeting with Peter, and although she is very fond of him, Peter's secretive behaviour estranges and intrigues her.

The early music videos that made up the bulk of the network's programming in the '80s were often crude promotional or concert clips from whatever sources could be found; as the popularity of the network rose, and record companies recognized the potential of the medium as a tool to gain recognition and publicity, they began to create increasingly elaborate clips specifically for the network. MJ remembers the upside-down kiss she had with her saviour Spider-Man in the first film, and that Peter's kiss suspiciously felt the same. The term VJ (video jockey) was coined, a play on the term DJ (disc jockey.) Many VJs eventually became celebrities in their own right. In the meanwhile, Doc Ock and Harry Osborn make a deal: Harry supplies him with tritium for his experiment, and the Doctor agrees to capture Spider-Man for him. Fresh-faced young men and women were hired to host the show's programming, and to introduce videos that were being played. Peter and MJ connect once again, but as MJ is engaged, it seems too late. The early format of the network was modeled after Top 40 radio. As Peter has much more spare time now, his relationships improve.

(With similar tongue-in-cheek humor, the first video shown on MTV Europe was "Money for Nothing," by Dire Straits, which starts and finishes with repetition of the line "I want my MTV," voiced by Sting; on MTV Latino, the first video shown was "We Are Southamerican Rockers" by the Chilean band Los Prisioneros.). Peter temporarily gives up Spider-Man. It went to air with the words, "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll!" Appropriately, the first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles (often wrongly attributed to one of their contemporaries with a similar name, The Bangles). announce their engagement and he loses his powers due to a form of burn-out syndrome. MTV started in New York City but was available in most of the United States by the mid-1980s with the nationwide expansion of cable. Peter's morale hits a nadir when Harry lashes at him in a drunken rage, MJ and Jameson Jr. [1]. "Doc Ock", as he is now called (due to the metal tentacles wired to his spine), desperately wants to rebuild his experiment, and Spider-Man must stop him from robbing a bank.

The programming was created by the visionary music producer, Bob Pittman, who later became president and chief executive officer, of MTV Networks. Peter's idol, a brilliant, gentle scientist named Otto Octavius becomes a mechanically-controlled lunatic as the result of a fusion accident. At midnight on August 1, 1981, the format was changed to music video (using a concept originally devised and sold to Warner Amex by Michael Nesmith, previously a member of the hit pop band The Monkees), and the name was changed to "MTV—Music Television". turns increasingly hostile to Peter after he fails to keep a promise to see a play in which she is the female lead. The popularity of the channel prompted Warner Amex to market the channel nationally to other cable services. M.J. One of these specialized channels was Sight On Sound, a music channel that featured concert footage and music oriented TV programs; with the interactive Qube service, viewers could vote for their favorite songs and artists. Jonah Jameson.

The Qube system offered many specialized channels, including a children's channel called Pinwheel which would later become Nickelodeon. Moreover, he has learned that his potential girlfriend, M.J., has acquired a new boyfriend, John Jameson, the son of Peter's employer, J. MTV's roots can be traced back to 1977, when Warner-Amex Cable (a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express) launched the first two-way interactive cable TV system, Qube, in Columbus, Ohio. He loses a job, is having trouble with his estranged friend, Harry Osborn, who still thinks that his father's death was the fault of Spider-Man (Harry doesn't know that Norman actually killed himself), struggles with his studies and school work, and finds that he is losing his powers. . It has been two years since the end of the last film, and Peter Parker is finding a double life very difficult. In the 90's, MTV was often considered to be the driving force in American pop culture, but this influence has dramatically declined. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko receive additional screen credit for "comic book & characters.

MTV's combination of music videos, youthful video jockeys, irreverent commentary, promotion of special rock concerts, and news and documentaries about bands and performers established the network's popularity with youthful viewers, and it became a leading promoter of new rock music and rock musicians. The screenplay is credited to Alvin Sargent, with screen story credit given to Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Michael Chabon. In 1985, it was acquired by Viacom Inc., and was folded into MTV Networks, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. Alfred Molina plays the role of the villain, Doctor Octopus ("Doc Ock").
